v1 Tutorials

We've worked hard to design Light Blue: Photo to be intuitive and easy to use. However, it's a powerful bit of software, and we appreciate that sometimes you might want us to show you the way. To help with this, we've had Tom and Hamish prepare a series of tutorials. We've also produced written versions in their own section of the user guide which comes with the download. Please note that these are the v1 tutorials; we've recorded new ones for v2.
